Description

9500 2 This invention relates to thioxanthone derivatives, their preparation, photopolymerisable compositions containing them, use of such compositions in the production of stencils for screen printing, screens for screen printing coated with such compositions, and the use of thioxanthone derivatives as photoinitiators.
Three main photosensitive systerrs are used in screen printing, which are usually referred to as direct, indirect and direct/indirect methods. The prior art photoinitiators include certain dichranate ccrrpounds, polymeric diazonium salts and a leuco sulphuric acid ester of an indigo or thioindigo dye. When these photoinitiators are employed in any of the screen printing methods they suffer the disadvantage of being sparingly soluble in water so necessitating the addition of a solution of a peroxide or employment of large quantities of hxmectant or use of two pack systems.
In order to overcome these difficulties, EP-A-81280 discloses that certain thioxanthones containing anionic groups such as car boxylie acid or sulphonic acid groups, have useful solubility in water of a suitable pH and can be used as photoinitiators in screen printing. These thioxanthones have the formula 3 10 15 (OR ) -A m where R is halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, nitro, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, hydroxyaIkylamino, alkanoylamino, benzoylamino, N-alkanoyl-N-benzoylamino, sulphonamido or acetyl, 2 R is alkylene of 1 to 4 carbon atcrns, n is 0, 1 or 2, m is 1 or 2, and A is -C00H, -S03Hf -0603H, or -OCO-X-OOOH (where X is such that HOOC-X-COOH is a di- or tri- carboxylic acid of up to 8 carbon atcms), the aforesaid alkyl, alkoxy, and alkenyl residues containing up to 4 carbon atcms each, and water-soluble salts thereof.
There have now been discovered certain novel thioxanthone derivatives which are very water-soluble over a wide pH range.
According to the present invention there are provided thioxanthone derivatives of general formula (I) 20 2 3 4 wherein one of R , R and R is a group of formula R5 '+ 6 - 0 - CH_ - CH - CH-, - N - R . I 2 | 2 OH (in in which one of R"*, R^ and R^ is an alkyl or a benzyl group, the others being alkyl groups and A represents an anion, and R* and 2 3 4 the others of R , R , and R are independently selected frcri hydrogen a tans, alkyl groups and alkoxy groups. 12 3 4 An alkyl or alkoxy group R , R , R or R is preferably a C^_g alkyl or alkoxy group, more preferably a alkyl or C. . alkoxy (e.g. methoxy) group. In preferred embodiments of 1 2 3 4 the invention, R and said others of R , R and R are independently selected frcm hydrogen atcms and methyl groups.
It is preferred for one of R^, R^ and R7 to be a alkyl group (e.g. a cetyl group) or a benzyl group, the others being alkyl, preferably alkyl, groups. In preferred embodiments of the invention, R^, R^ and R7 are all methyl groups. - 2- A may represent h of a divalent anion, e.g. JjSO^ , but is preferably a monovalent anion e.g. a halide ion. A preferably represents a chlorine or brcmine atan, and is very conveniently a chlorine atan. 2 4 Thioxanthone derivatives of formula I wherein R or R represents the group cf formula II are preferred.
The invention further provides a process for the preparation of a thioxanthone derivative of formula I as defined above which comprises reacting a hydroxythioxanthone corresponding to formula I wherein in place of the group of formula II is a hydroxy group, with a catpound of formula R5 '+6 CH- - CH - CH_ - N - R . A (III) i9 k* 2 R7 5 6 7 —. wherein R , R , R and A are all as defined for the group of 8 9 8 formula II, R is a group -OH and R is a leaving group, or R g and R together represent an oxygen atan, in the presence of a base. g A leaving group R may conveniently be a halogen atan. 8 9 Preferably when R is a group -OH, R is a chlorine atan.
The hydroxythiaxanthones corresponding to formula I wherein in place of the group of formula II is a hydroxy group are either known ccnpounds, preparable by kncwn methods, or they may be prepared by methods analogous to kncwn processes. Suitable methods will be apparent to those skilled in the art by 5 reference to, for example, EP-A-81280; DE-A-2504642; Czechoslovakian Patent No. 145,016; R.N. Sen and S.C. Sen Gupta, J. Ind. Chan. Soc., 1929, £, 273; H. Christopher and S. Smiles, J.C.S., 1911, 99, 2050-1; and A. Mustafa and O.H. Hishnat, 5 J.A.C.S., 1957, 79, 2227-8.
Reaction of the hydroxythioxanthone with the compound of fonnala III may conveniently be effected using an alkanol e.g. a C^_2 alkanol, conveniently ethanol, or a polar aprotic solvent such as N,N-dimethy 1 formairiide as solvent, at temperatures in the 10 range 60°C to reflux tanperature. Reaction at reflux tenperature is very convenient. Convenient bases include alkali metal (e.g. sodium or potassinn) alkoxides and hydroxides.
Further in accordance with the invention there is provided an aqueous photqpolymerisable conposition comprising an aqueous 15 dispersion or solution of at least one polymerisable monomer and, as photoinitiator, a thioxanthone derivative of formula I. The invention also extends to the use of such a composition in the production cf a stencil for screen printing, and to screens for screen printing coated with such a composition and dried. 20 Suitable such aqueous photcpolymerisable compositions comprise corpositions as described in EP-A-81280, substituting a thioxanthone derivative of formula I for the photoinitiator thioxanthone thereof. Accordingly the disclosure of EP-A-81280 is incorporated herein by reference. 25 The invention also comprises the use of a derivative of formula I as photoinitiator.
Compounds of formula I possess the property of having useful absorption of actinic light above 330nm. In addition to their use a photoinitiators as described above in 30 photopolymerisable corpositions, they may also be employed in the manufacture of water based U.V. curable inks.

Example 7 25 Evaluation of the Efficiency of the Ccnpounds given in Exarrples 1 tc 6 as Water Soluble Photoinitiators Each of the conpounds described in the previous examples was investigated as follows. A sample (0.33g) was dissolved in water (0.8mls) and K,N-dimethylarninoethanol (0.7icJLs) added. 30 This solution was stirred into "Azocol S" (Trade Mark) emulsion (30g) and then N,N'-methylenebisacrylainide (lg) added. After stirring for five minutes the mixture was allowed to stand for 16 hours prior to coating into orange polyester screen (110 threads/an) with two coats on the direct side and one on the 35 reverse. The coated screen was air dried and then irradiated by 12 light which had passed first through a piece of plate glass (5mn thick) and second through a film containing a positive image. The screen, film and glass in the form of a tight sandwich sat directly below two 375 watt photographic lanps whose bottom 5 surfaces were positioned at a distance of 35 cms from the top surface of the piece of glass. After irradiating for a given time period the screens were gently rinsed with running cold water until an image began to form and then such treatment continued for a further two minutes. The screens vere then air 10 dried and the stencils examined. Ey using stepwise increasing exposure times the ndnimum time needed to give a good quality stencil was determined and these times are reproduced in the table below. For comparison a standard sensitized "Azocol S" emulsion was prepared according to the manufacturers 15 instructions and after processing as described above its minimum exposure time was determined. Also the sodium salt of 2-(3-sulphoprqpoxy)- thioxanthone (Example 2 of EP-A-81280) was tested as above (comparative A) for comparison purposes.
